On Thursday, April 18th , the Cleveland Public Library-Collinwood Branch in partnership with Praxis Fiber Workshop and Collinwood Reads, New Tech Collinwood students and the Collinwood Community created banners to hang from the Detroit Bridge in downtown Cleveland on June 22 As part of the lead up to the 50th anniversary of the Cuyahoga River catching fire on June 22, 1969, the Cleveland Foundation’s Creative Fusion: Waterways to Waterways Edition is bringing together a group of international and local artists to focus on projects that connect the regenerative efforts for the Cuyahoga to global waterways. We are so proud that local artist, Jessica Pinsky, Executive Director of Praxis Fiber workshop allowed the Collinwood Community to be a part of this amazing exhibit. Special thanks go to Sharon Kid, Site Coordinator for Wraparound Services at New Tech Collinwood-Ohio Guidestone and Art teacher, Ms. Avers for their help in getting students to participate. Manager, Caroline Peak and Jessica Pinsky were featured on the April 12th edition of “We the People” Show on WKYC to promote the program.
